I would call your attention to a significant sequence of events.

1. Trump attacks Harvard.
2. Harvard refuses to fold.
3. Universities around the country start to form a mutual defense pact against Trump.
4. Trump now says that letter to Harvard was never supposed to be sent.

What it does show is that Trump, like bullies everywhere, folds when he faces firm opposition. So we need to put firm opposition in his face at every opportunity.

@Ahuka Maybe, but Trump actually hasn't backed off from the demands in the letter and still threatens Harvard's funding.
@BruceMirken @Ahuka someone else mentioned columbia, who did respond to the requests, didn't get the money.
The money is gone. It's in trump pocket.
@BruceMirken @Ahuka Until they’re destroyed, in the most humiliating way possible, you have to keep fighting. As soon as you stop, they don’t.
